Wow! That is so totally cool! :) It's a bit rough yet (you can jump
through the platforms) but apart from that it seems to be working.

That'll will give plenty of opportunities to map makers and game
designers! Btw, you can even climb on trees! See the attached shot.

Yeah, we should make it like that.


Uh, I can't wait to see some proper map in place which demonstrates all
the new abilites, like bridges, platforms, not to forget walking in
water or high grass. :).
